INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 (0.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
    • 🌾 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 🍬 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 💧 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

  • For Frying

    • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

STEPS

1

Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a saucepan to 375°F (119°C).

2

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water. Set aside for 10 minutes.

3

Stir the remaining 1/2 cup warm water into the bowl. Add flour, beating vigorously until a soft dough forms.

4

Turn the dough out onto a smooth surface, and knead with greased hands until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.

5

Fry golf ball-sized pieces of dough in batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

6

Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and serve while still hot.
